Even If I Fall is a heartbreaking story I couldn't stop reading. Your heart will break for Brooke and Heath and their crazy messed up relationship. This story is a must read for All. GREAT GREAT BOOK

I read The First To Know by Abigail Johnson last year, absolutely fell in love, and knew immediately that I would be reading whatever book she put out next. I was a little worried that I wuld be disappointed by Even If I Fall because I had SUCH high expectations for it, but nope, it lived up to those expectations and more.
It's so weird, when I usually read contemporary books, my favorite part is always the romance, but when it comes to Abigail's books, my favorite part always seems to be the family of the main character. Not to say that I don't like the romance that is in the book, just that the family aspect is done so well that it becomes what I love about the book (which I honestly can not say about a lot of books for me). The struggle that Brooke goes through is nothing I have ever experienced, yet I was able to feel the pain and heartbreak that she went through knowing that her brother had murdered his best friend while also knowing that she still loved him because he was her brother and would always be her brother.
Speaking of family, no one in Brooke's family does well after Brooke's brother Jason goes to jail, and I liked the fact that you saw everyone dealing and grieving in different ways. Then, we also got to see a little bit from the other side of what happened when Brooke starts talking to the younger brother of the guy her brother murdered. It was so interesting to see Heath and Brooke connect over what they had both gone through; even though they are on different sides of what happened, the repercussions of what happened leave similar impacts on both of them.
This book broke my heart many times, and I loved it so so much. It is definitely one to look out for when it comes out on January 8th.

Painful and heartwrenching at times, it reminded me vaguely of Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen with a sibling who has to bear the sins of their sibling and come to terms with the way it affects them. 4.5 only because I don't love when romances are only tied together by grief and the title which I feel isn't a great representation, but overall strongly written.
I received a copy of this from Netgalley for an honest review.

I received this preview copy through NetGalley. I didn’t expect to read it in less than 2 days! While dealing with a complex and heartbreaking main storyline, this novel also managed to tell a believable love story - with two rather unlikely star crossed characters.
